Suspension question

I have a 97 coupe. My question is this-I know that on shocks, you can push down on a car and feel whether or not they are good to an extent. Mine seem to be ok, until I get on the road. The back of the car seems to wallow bad on any bump and it bounces pretty hard. I am wondering if this is shock related or if it something else. If it is shocks, can I put C6 shocks on it? If not shocks, what could it be?

Sounds like shocks to me. Yes the c6 shocks are direct fit.

We also sell the Johnny O'Connell upgraded shocks, if you are looking to further enhance your ride without upgrading to Coilovers.

So I can assume based on responses that I need new shocks, and not something more serious?

Will Z06 shocks fit? Or will that even make a difference?
